Metro-Atlanta Girlfriends Encounter CIA-Assassin

Peachtree City, GA - Captivating conversation ensues when former CIA assassin encounters five Metro-Atlanta suburban housewives packing microphones. The Divas, hosts of the radio-style ¡§infotainment¡¨ Internet talk show, TheDivaCast, capture the profoundly personal account of immigrant-loner-turned-CIA-assassin-turned-author, Roland Haas. Hear in his own words of his traumatic childhood, enticement into CIA covert operations, and tortures of imprisonment¡Xnot only on foreign land, but ultimately in his own mind as he battled the inevitable depression and addiction that led to the demise of his former self and eventually allowed him freedom to live in the present tense.

In this one-of-a-kind podcast exclusive, Haas reveals how he was brutally bullied as a child, seductively recruited by the CIA as a teenager, and subsequently fell into and triumphed over debilitating depression and substance abuse. In his riveting newly released book, Enter the Past Tense: My Secret Life as a CIA Assassin, and now over the Internet airwaves, Haas shares intimate details of assassinations of international drug dealers and Red Army Faction members, the psychological and physical torture he endured in an Iranian prison, and the death-threat Hell¡¦s Angels altercations that impelled his escape to Germany where he and his unquestioning wife started a family. There, Haas taught classes at a local university, while secretly tunneling between West and East Germany extracting Soviet Spetsnaz officers¡X¡§all in a day¡¦s work.¡¨ Haas is currently an Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff and the Command Senior Intelligence Officer of the U.S. Army Reserve Command. Though Haas¡¦s account evokes more questions than he could ever answer, he offers a glimpse into the debatable necessity of secret intelligence, without disclosing details that could possibly jeopardize current intelligence operatives. ¡§I wrote the book in 90 days,¡¨ says Haas. ¡§It was cathartic and necessary for my healing process.¡¨

TheDivaCast, touted as ¡§The View without the celebrity,¡¨ not only speaks with Roland, but takes it one step further and invites his wife, Marilyn, to share her very private perspective of what it¡¦s like to find out after nearly thirty years together, your spouse leads a secret life. Marilyn reveals the struggles of not only learning to trust, but overcoming the horrific years of her husband¡¦s decline into clinical depression and alcoholism coupled with protecting his top secret security clearance¡Xa compelling, heart-wrenching, yet inspiring story of intrigue, honesty, strength, and bravery¡Xone not to be missed.
